Egypt is prepared for all scenarios: Cabinet spokesperson

The Egyptian Cabinet's spokesperson Mohamed al-Homsany said that the government is closely monitoring regional developments, especially in light of the recent US strikes on Iran, and is working to study all possible scenarios to minimize the impact on the Egyptian economy. During a Sunday telephone interview with the Extra News channel, Homsany explained that the Crisis Management Committee reviewed several potential economic challenges, including rising oil prices, increased shipping and insurance costs, and the potential impact on supply chains. These risks are not limited to Egypt, he said, but are faced by most countries around the world and therefore requires readiness to mitigate their repercussions on the Egyptian economy. Regarding basic commodities, Homsany assured that the strategic stock of food commodities is safe and secure, sufficient for several months, with some commodities having a stockpile exceeding six months. 'This stockpile was established last year under the direction of President Sisi, in anticipation of any regional developments, and we have succeeded in securing it in a manner that ensures citizens' needs are met for the long term.' Each ministry is developing detailed plans to address various scenarios, he emphasized, including the availability of petroleum and natural gas, the continuity of food supply chains, and the provision of essential goods even if the crisis extends for a long period. The Cabinet spokesperson further confirmed that the state has been working for months to ensure energy security, by equipping and connecting three liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels to the national natural gas grid, and the arrival of a fourth vessel soon to enhance the capacity to import LNG, and modernizing the energy sector's infrastructure. Homsany added that 'The current plan was prepared in advance to meet summer needs, and according to the Prime Minister's statements, electricity needs during the summer are fully secured and there are no concerns about power outages.' The monetary policy adopted by the Central Bank of Egypt relies on a flexible exchange rate system, he noted, which allows for a natural balance in the market between ups and downs. He explained: 'The monetary policy has succeeded in eliminating the parallel market and providing the full need for foreign currency, as our foreign exchange resources have become consistent with our needs for the third consecutive month.'

Egypt FM urges ceasefire in talks with Arab counterparts - Foreign Affairs

Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty stressed in phone calls with some of his counterparts on Sunday the importance of securing a ceasefire and halting Israel-Iran military escalation. According to the Egyptian foreign ministry, Abdelatty held separate phone calls with Jordanian FM Ayman Safadi, Saudi FM Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, and Bahraini FM Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani. The phone discussions touched on the rapid regional developments, particularly the Israel-Iran military escalation and the grave threat and serious repercussions it poses to regional peace and security. During the calls, the Egyptian FM affirmed that political and diplomatic solutions are the only way to avoid expanding the conflict in ways that threaten regional peace and security. Abdelatty and Safadi emphasized the importance of de-escalation, restraint, and prioritising dialogue, warning of the danger of the region slipping into more chaos and tensions. The Egyptian, Saudi, and Bahraini ministers also stressed the need to prioritise political and diplomatic solutions as the only way out of the current crisis and to preserve regional security and stability. The Arab top diplomats further reaffirmed the need to respect state sovereignty, international law, and the principles of the United Nations Charter. Earlier Sunday, the US launched airstrikes targeting three major Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and the Isfahan complex, a move which many observers viewed as supporting Israel's ongoing war against Iran, which began on 13 June.
